For some time Indesign has been very slow. It freezes and the colored ball starts spinning for several seconds. I recently changed my Mac and installed 64GB of ram, 3.6GHz Intel Core i9 10 core processor. With Photoshop and Illustrator it is a missile. So Indesign has problems. Tips?
Which version of InDesign and how much spare disk capacity do you have?
Have you tried resetting the InDesign preferences:
1) Close InDesign
2) Double click on Adobe InDesign's icon to launch it
3) QUICKLY hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift. (for Windows) or CTL+OPT+CMD+Shift (for Mac OS X)
4) When a dialogue appears, asking you “Delete InDesign Preference Files?” Click Yes.
(If you don't see the question do it again.)

Hi Derek,
The version is the 16.2 (the latest).
Spare Disk capacity: 304 GB
I reset Indesign and it seems pretty fast for the moment
Thanks

It should be working fine - as per Derek post resetting your preferences is a first step.
There's a list of items here too

Is it every file in InDesign or just one file?

Hi there,
I hope your issue is resolved now. In addition to Derek & Eugene's responses, I'd recommend checking out this community post(https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/resolve-slow-performance-and-unexpected-behavior-of-indesign...) if you have such issues in the future. Hope they help.
